Clay Lamberton Elementary School is a place where all students find success. Our student body of approximately 400 students has opportunities to learn and grow from a young age.

In our upper grades, students practice hand-writting and typing skills, continue to build conceptual mathematical understanding to prepare them for middle school, expand their foundational literacy skills aligned with the Science of Reading, and dig into complex science and social studies theories and lessons.
